Flames/Maple Leafs Trade

pelle31 · #1 01-31-2010, 05:26 PM

So the Flames did pull the trigger,I figured they would. Phaneuf was in the back of my mind to be traded by the way he was playing. Also if you watched the last few games he seemed to "pick it up".
So the Flames Trade
Phanuef,Sjostrom and Aulie for
Stajan,Hagman,White and Mayers.

Dunno one minute I don't mind this deal and the next I want to burn all my Flames gear

But really I think Phaneuf was a problem in the room,plus we gain back on the salary cap.
Toronto gain in the long term cause Phaneuf will be around for a long while. Calgary will
gain in the short term with these players.

So do you think this was good/bad? Do you think anything else will happen within the Flames?

i believe burning all flames gear is still necessary, actually it always was.

I think it was a good trade over all, and Toronto getting guigare was a good move too, think there going to go some ware

I dont know if that was a good trade either. I think the flames should have got more quality instead of quantity for phenuf. im sure if you could have gotten more from another team in a couple of weeks. Seems like it was a trade just for the sake of making a trade

I'm a believer in that, whoever ends up with the best player in a trade, usually wins the trade. This helps the Flames in terms of cap relief, and gets rid of a player that is underachieving, but I still think Toronto will end up as the winner. If this is the first trade for Calgary, and there is better things to come prior to the deadline, then they might make out well.
As from Toronto's perspective, they get a former, very promising defenseman. Will he return to that form though? I have never been much of a Phanuef fan though. Too many bricks short of a full load.
